What is the main advantage of the lead-free composite material?

The lead-free composite material is environmentally safe and ideal for engines operating under low to medium loads. This construction helps manage friction and wear effectively in these applications.

What does 'bi-metal aluminum material' mean for these bearings?

Bi-metal construction typically involves a steel backing for strength and an aluminum alloy overlay for bearing surface properties. This combination offers good wear resistance and embeddability for the connecting rod journals.

Are these bearings suitable for a high-performance engine build?

These bearings are specifically designed for low to medium-load engines. For high-performance or high-RPM applications, you would typically look for bearings with different material compositions and load ratings.

About this part

Product Details

These connecting rod bearings from King Engine Bearings use a lead-free, environmentally safe composite material. This bi-metal aluminum construction is ideal for engines that operate under low to medium loads, like those found in many classic Volvos. King has been specializing in engine bearings since 1960, focusing on supplying well-built components for engine rebuilding.

This set is specifically made for your 1976-1985 Volvo 244, ensuring a direct fit for the connecting rods. The material choice helps manage friction and wear in the crankshaft journals, which is crucial for the longevity of your engine. When you're rebuilding the bottom end, using bearings designed for the specific load conditions of your engine is key to a successful build.
